The focus of our nomination was the Rain Cloud Westminster and the high proportion of female members and female-led organisations that we have in the space, which is significantly higher than other co-working spaces across London and the UK.

We have now reached the point where 52% of members are female. Co-working spaces typically see around one third of their membership being female. For comparison, it’s 41% at WeWork and the total share of all jobs held by females in London is 44%.

As part of a conscious effort to support women working in Rain Cloud member organisations, The Rain Gods was the first SME to sign up to the Tech Talent Charter, which promotes underrepresented groups in start ups, and the OneTech diversity initiative from Capital Enterprise and the Mayor of London.
